Australian wildcard Rinky Hijikata has lined up a crack at world No.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Australian Open second round after pulling off a stirring five-set comeback victory in his main draw debut.
Hijikata appeared set for a quick exit when he lost his first two sets against German qualifier Yannick Hanfmann but fought back to prevail 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 in front of a parochial crowd.
